SILVER SPRINGS SHORES - Two armed men robbed a gas station and escaped with cash early Thursday morning, according to officials.

The men, who witnesses say had guns, entered the BP gas station located at 9433 S.E. Maricamp Rd., and both pointed their weapons at them. The employee behind the counter opened the cash register and stepped back, allowing the gunmen to take the money.

With cash in hand, the men ran out the business and fled in an unknown direction. The incident occurred at 12:10 a.m.

One suspect was described as a black male wearing dark jeans, black shirt, a blue and white jacket with a blue scarf around his mouth. The second person was also a black male, wearing black clothing including a black mitten hat. The men were between 5-feet-10 to 6-feet tall.

Sheriff’s records show the gas station has been robbed at least once a year since 2006.
